After a two day absence, WT turned up a little late this morning limping somewhat...and hungry.
You can see how much weight he has lost; it concerns us a great deal.

This is Kim feeding him his usual fare.

So glad to have him back...even for just a few minutes.

I think that you are right...’

He needs a dose of worm medicine

The latest, probably the last, update.

We haven't seen W.T. for several months. After this video was made, he visited us
almost every day, twice a day, to be fed. I was able to touch him once lightly on his
back, but that scared him enough to leave me in mid-feed. Later he would allow me to
sit on the grass on the opposite side of the feeding bowl. Upon finishing, he would just
turn his back on me and walk away.

The last time he visited the porch, young Beau squeezed past me and chased W.T.
away; he has never come back. I was very surprised that Beau would do that...he's
very laid back, timid even...and W.T. had the markings of a fighter on him from
time to time.

A couple of weeks after that we spotted him in a nearby trailer park with some other
dogs and a bunch of people. He looked to be quite comfortable there. We haven't seen
him since.

I miss him...he was part of our family of rescue animals for over a year

Well that dog sounds like a true democrat anyhow, just came around looking for a handout.

I love dogs but if they do not befriend me they are out of here.

Rick-a-Roo · 06-24-2021, 06:47 PM

He never fully trusted us beyond feeding him and providing him with a shelter during last
winters cold spells and downpours.

He had the most beautiful grey eyes, but they reflected a deep sadness and, I suspect, pain.
Oddly enough, the first few weeks of his residency on our street he sat in the parking
lot of the church close by our house, apparently waiting for the fuck-pig who abandoned
to come by to take him home again.

Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.

All our four-legged family members are rescue critters, or they found us.
When W.T. turned up we had three dogs, an inside cat and two porch cats. One of the dogs passed a few months ago, but we now have two dogs and four porch cats: Skittles (6 or 7 years), Frederic (maybe a year), Norman (a couple of months), and just lately, Junior (white & orange just like Fred).

Our Chocolate Lab is gone now

and we have one Black Cat left

but she is in bad shape and may

pass at any time...We will miss her

We have decided that we will not

get anymore pets when Maggie passes

aviator · 06-24-2021, 10:06 PM

Yeah, that's what I said 10 years ago and we have another.

44044 · 06-24-2021, 10:28 PM

But we were in our 50's then Sir...

I don't want to kick off and someone

have to feel obligated to look after my pets...

and if I die first my wife couldn't take care

of one...

Sucks

aviator · 06-25-2021, 06:28 AM

same here but our daughter arrived late..."My brothers had dogs, why can't I have one". Wife: "She's right , you know" and just like that we got a Lhasa Apso that lasts about 18-20 years...

44044 · 06-25-2021, 08:37 AM

So that means you will just have to

live longer...

One has to take care of those critters
